Notes

*Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for about a week. They may start to get a little soft and less crispy.
*Nutrition is based on one serving (½ of the recipe).
*For an oil-free option, sub the oil for aquafaba, vegetable broth, or water, but note that the chickpeas may taste a little dry.
